Updates on projects! 3/24/25

-Thoughts-

This past month has been crazy and I have gotten far more base work to some of my projects done, so a lot has changed. I'd like to say that perhaps someday I will stop being so greedy and start creating for others but let's be realistic, I choose simple moments of enjoyment far too much to truly do that. Granted it's time to move forward, I spent quite some time just staring at how the stream, recordings and everything overall looked and I can say without a doubt that this round that feeling I constantly seek from my hobby was captured. I lose track of time so often and before I knew it the last update was a month ago, so my best guess is I was having fun. 

Most of the streaming stuff is set to my specifications again, and the scenes are how I like, I'm hoping that with a bit of prep work, the intro section to the stream itself will be a bit more fun. From this point, it will probably be small additions here and there. This doesn't mean I'm not working on other things or the old stuff just that I had to shift directions a bit more once again. I have managed to get one more song out by Ej and I really had fun with it more so than usual, and luckily getting to use renders that were kindly given to me long ago. It may be a more cemented style toward things coming up. 

I'll do my best to update here but I might miss quite a bit since it's been an entire month also thanks for reading!


-Upcoming Goals-

-Priority- File, Program, and Hard Drive Organization

Just about done! Everything is on the proper hard drives, I have space again! Organization is like 75% done and seriously does help, I like finding what I need quickly without having to use my search function.

(Progressing)

Fo76 Build Showcase (Video &/or Blog)

Still stagnant but I haven't touched my Fo76 Xbox Save for over a month now I believe hoping this update allows me the opportunity to do such.

To do:

▪️Gather Materials

▪️Video Assembly

(Stagnant) [Mostly getting a steady feel toward the recording will retry soon]

Set up a Schedule for the Upcoming Week (Streams and Releases)

I got a fairly nice graphic going and some ideas for this. I'm hoping it'll be a video and graphic presentation. As for setting the actual schedule for releases...let's move on.

(Progressing)

-Priority- Finish Curating a mod list for Zomboid

There's still a bit more to do on this but just about done sadly I can't add collaborators to make it easier but there is a stable build currently to work off of with legacy options.

(Stagnant)

 Project Zomboid Survivor Stories (Videos &/or Blog)

This has gone cold as a morgue for the moment! I'll get on it soon but bumped up the mod list so I can prioritize a bit better.

To do:

▪️Gather Materials

▪️Video Assembly

(Stagnant)

End Card (Youtube)

I make this harder on myself at times.

(Stagnant)

Personal Press Kit  (Design)

I am feeding it assets slowly and watching it become chunky.

Project Cafe (Songs)

This project is a bit special as it's a lot of the older songs I really liked from early on that Ej had created, that got stored away being told they'd never see the light of day. I'm curating some and making a small video and will be working toward publishing all of them. There is a lot to so this may be a multi-part video and album release.

(Progressing)

---------------------------------------------------

Note: These are just goals of mine in no particular order and I have no clue if I can or will get to or finish them! <3


-Plans and Ideas-

(Added to keep the Goal list a little bit smaller since it's more focused, changes in this section will be fairly slow to update but hopefully will make it to the goal list at some point!)

 Draft a Plan (Profile)

This is a definite starting point for overhauling the place: a list of what and where, potential goals, and ideas. Unfortunately, my initial drafts are never pretty.

(Planning Stage)

More User bars, Badges, Stamps and Graphics (Profile)

A lot of this that's listed as belonging to the profile can probably be compiled overall into the goal list as a broken-down plan at some point! I'm really looking forward to finding a nice design to set up for myself.

(Planning Stage)

Getting a LFG, Games Completed, and a Few Other Sections (Profile)

Sections would be fun, I still have no clue why I want a looking-for groups section for myself but I do.

(Planning Stage)

Forum Post (Links)

It'd be nice to get a list of useful links going! <~ Stated several updates ago...

(Planning Stage)

Gaming Script (GTA)

I think a good starting point would be to break the video down into sections we want to work on and find a small derpy plot for writing off of.

(Planning Stage)

Getting the Ko-Fi back up!

I gotta think of a nice way to release all of this music in a central location for download! I've used Ko-Fi for a long time and would like to get this one back up and running.

(Planning Stage)


-Completed Goals-

Project 74 Needs a Name (Song Release)

Project 74 was named Hallow Mind and pumped out with a vengeance. Small video included, sent to the distributor, and cover created. Let's aim a bit higher on this next one but stay the course in this direction!

Fix the Fo76 launch issue on Steam.

Fixed with some real elbow grease put in.

Project 42 (Song) [Retracted] Edit: 3/28/2025

They want to fix this one it's cancelled for now


Additions (aka the random stuff I do):

The stream has been rebuilt!

Sui has been reinstalled and fixed to work off a whitelist that turns off and on when I want.

Bots and effects have been updated to my specifications as well. It's a rarity you'll probably see a fair share of them.

Walk-ins have been installed again, they seem good but I'd prefer to test them.

The Vertical Output has been updated to change things up in sync again with the horizontal output but still needs some reordering on sources.

Added an auto-publish to BlueSky button to the board for clips and screenshots that I approve of or hope came out well enough.

My clip system now overwrites the older shots saved in the folder to save room again.

Headphones have been ordered so that I may too work on music and try really hard to learn sound design!


Note: Now this is starting to look like one beast of a f*cking roadmap! Its evolution as of late makes this old witch click her heels in delight!
